Painful reminder from bias case
Regarding “Kroger settles racial bias suit” (Business Briefing, June 27):
There are many persons within our society who, wrongly, argue that racism is no longer a social problem.
Unfortunately, when an employer like Kroger Co. makes an out-of-court settlement for $16 million in a case alleging it discriminates against African Americans, it serves as a painful reminder that racial discrimination continues to be an important social issue.
One cannot help but wonder what it will take and how long it will be before racial justice is achieved in a nation that espouses equal rights for all of its citizens.
